Ravine

The documents in the case file are pointing to different dates for when bodies of Dubinina, Zolotaryov, Kolevatov and Thibeaux-Brignolle are found. The place seem to be well photographed, but you will be surprised how many discussions currently exist on the fact where exactly is this location. Expeditions go, measure and build theories and models. Here are some of them.

The image below is a blow up of the general area where the ravine is. Researchers are using as check points some characteristic trees that appear on the 1959 photos form the search, but more than 5 decades past before any attempts were made to pin point the location. Why is that so important? Because the terrain could give hints as for:

What is the easiest way to reach the den and to transport branches for the den

Were the bodies injured at this very place or were they transported from some place else

If moved from another place - how could it be done (from the slope, from the den, etc.)
